Chapter 472: Conditions

Although Su Jin put forward the conditions, Jensen would not agree to it in one bite, he rolled his eyes and said.

"General Su, as far as I know, you also have an organization behind you, and this organization has a lot of energy. Your organization can even produce planes, tanks, and heavy artillery, so a few production lines shouldn't be a problem for you, right? ”

"Mr. Jensen, you do have a point." Su Jin nodded, but then he changed his words: "But who would dislike having too much money?" ”

"I'm ............%¥#@"

Looking at Su Jin with a smile on his face, Jensen felt that the city government that he had trained for many years also had the urge to beat people, this guy was too annoying to even speak, and we were wronged in the eyes of the US government.

Perhaps feeling the anger that was about to explode in Jensen's heart, Su Jin said with a straight face: "Okay, Mr. Ambassador, please don't be angry, it was just a joke just now." But then again, there is a proverb in the West that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to get something, you have to pay a price to match it. This sarin gas can be said to be the most poisonous gas in the world at present, and I think that your ambassador to Japan, Mr. Joseph Gru, should know best, can't such a thing get the equipment I mentioned? ”

"But you know, these things you are talking about are not indispensable to our country." Jensen shook his head and said, "I can tell you for sure that as long as our country is willing, we can quickly develop the kind of poison gas you mentioned." ”

"I'll admit it." Su Jin said very sincerely: "I have no doubt about your country's R&D capabilities, but can you tell me how much time your country will need?" Two years? Three years or five years? You must know that now that Germany has turned its attention to France after annexing Poland, I beg you to say that since the death of Napoleon, the French warriors who once swept across the European continent are now only playing with flowers and women, and these guys have pinned their security on a line of defense that will never move. It seemed to me that the Maginot Line, which they had constructed that would never fall, was nothing more than a ditch full of flaws, and that the Germans could even take Paris in a matter of months if they wanted to. If France is defeated, whose turn will it be next, and will your country still want to stay out of it then? Will the Germans still give your country so much time to study these things? ”

"This damn guy." Jensen secretly cursed in his heart, this guy is a devil, whether it is a temptation or a threat, he can always touch your heart with some words that you don't expect.

"Okay!" Jensen nodded helplessly: "General Su, I have to admit that you are an excellent lobbyist, I was persuaded by you." But don't get too happy, it's not for me to decide alone, and President Roosevelt has to give the nod. ”

"Of course." Su Jin smiled, and the sly smile on his face couldn't be concealed: "Please greet President Roosevelt for me and express my sincere greetings to him." And it seems to me that the recovery of Zhejiang is only a matter of time, and in a few months at most your country's fleet will be able to unload directly at our ports. ”

Jensen was gone, and even he himself did not know what mood he was in when he returned to Chongqing, and he could not help but complain after expounding Su Jin's original words word for word in a telegram to Roosevelt: "Mr. President, it stands to reason that as an ambassador, I should not mix personal feelings in this kind of thing, but I still think that this General Su is the most peculiar person I have ever seen in my career, he has the fortitude and bravery of a soldier, and the cunning and shamelessness of a politician." Yes...... Forgive me for swearing, but I don't think there's a proper word to describe this guy other than that word, but there is one thing that no one can deny, and that is his hatred of Japan, so although I am reluctant, I still have to say that if the United States goes to war with the Japanese one day, this guy can help us a lot......"

"It's the first time I've seen Jensen complain to me about a guy in a telegram for the first time, and it seems that this little guy from Huaxia really gave him a lot of stimulation, otherwise he wouldn't have commented on a person in such a gaffe tone." Secretary of State Cordell Hull grinned as he looked at the telegram.

"Perhaps, I saw in the telegram that he was full of complaints, and if it weren't for his status, perhaps our Mr. Jensen would have asked for a duel with the general!" Vice President John Nance Garner shook his head and laughed.

"Okay, don't make fun of our ambassador, now you have to focus on what matters most." Roosevelt on the side shook his head helplessly, these two guys actually gave up the most important thing and focused on some trivial things.

"Alright, the morning entertainment time is over, now let's get back to business." Garner took a sip of his coffee and then said, "That General Su has already offered a price code, a steel mill, a rifle production line and a bullet production line, in exchange for the formula and formula of that poison gas, I think I can agree to his request." ”

"Is it worth the price we pay for a poison gas recipe? We have a lot of top scientists, and if you give them a little time, they can work on it. Secretary of State Hull on the side frowned, a little reluctant.

Garner put down his coffee and said, "Oh, dear Hull, that's the problem. The general Su was right, we can indeed develop that kind of poison gas, but it will take time, maybe two or three years, maybe five years, but we don't have that much time to wait now. Hitler had set his sights on France, war could break out at any time, a steel mill and an arms production line were nothing compared to time, and we had to produce those poison gases before the war broke out to avoid the same fate in Fukuoka, Japan, from befalling us in the future. ”

"Well, you're right." Hull nodded, acknowledging the other party's point of view, and then turned his gaze to Roosevelt and said: "Mr. President, although we have focused our main energy and attention on Europe, the affairs of Asia cannot be ignored, the Japanese have become more and more emboldened since the alliance with the Germans, and it is not in the interests of the United States to be too strong Japan." ”

"That's true." Roosevelt nodded, "It's time to add some trouble to the Japanese." However, we still have to make some statements about the poison gas attack in Fukuoka, and the necessary condolences and condemnations will be carried out, and these things will be left to you to handle, and as for the weapons production line and the steel mill that the little guy needs, we can start to do it, and we can also sell it in the name of waste materials. ”

A few hours later, a telegram of condolences to Japan was issued in the name of the U.S. government, in which the U.S. government first expressed its condolences and concern for the more than 200,000 civilians killed in Fukuoka, condemned the actions of the 202nd Army, and called on the Huaxia government to stop this inhumane behavior...... There is no then.

Due to the time difference, when the Japanese government received this telegram, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning of 16 November. Looking at this almost child's play telegram of condolences, Emperor Hirohito, who had stayed up all night because of the imperial meeting held overnight, held back the anger in his heart and roared at a group of important ministers in front of him: "It's been two days, have you found a way to deal with the Shina bombers?" ”

There was silence in the conference room of the Imperial Council, and no one dared to touch Hirohito's mold at this time.

"Didn't anyone answer my question? Well, I personally asked by name, who is in charge of the air defense of the empire's homeland? Hirohito asked lightly.

A lieutenant general stood up, his fat face flushed, and he replied with some trepidation: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I am in charge." ”

"Oh...... It turned out to be Masuno-kun, I ask you, can you guarantee that the poisonous gas will not fall on Tokyo and on my head? ”

"Your Majesty...... No...... No! Lieutenant General Shono Shuwan, commander of Japan's 1st Flying Division, replied stubbornly.

"Huh...... What a joke is it that the Great Japanese Empire, which is blessed by the gods, was bombed by the Shina people, but they couldn't even find a way? In that case, what do I want you to do? At the end, Hirohito suddenly shouted.

Shuwan Masano left his seat and walked to Hirohito, knelt down and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't do their best, but that the fighters of Shina bombed Fukuoka at night, and now there is not a single plane in Japan that can fight at night. ”

Hirohito said angrily, "Oh...... Then you tell me, why can the fighters of the Chinese people fly to the mainland of the empire at night and bomb with impunity, but our fighters do not even dare to take off, why is this? ”

"This ......"

Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but look at each other, and then smiled bitterly. The reason why the Chinese bombers were able to bomb the mainland of the empire at night was because their planes only needed to fly over the cities of the empire and drop the bombs, after all, it was not difficult to find a city of hundreds of square kilometers. But the Imperial's planes can't, if you want to intercept the other side, you must at least see the other side first, right? Finding an airplane in the dark sky is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no comparison between the two.

Although this is the case, they have no way to explain it to Hirohito, and for a while, the important ministers of the empire will become very ugly as if they are suffering from constipation. (To be continued.) )
